THE TV COLLECTOR began in 1976 as an amateur fanzine. The
material in Vol.1 issues seems sparse today, but in those days
it was the only available info about past TV shows.

Each has an
episode guide for the listed show, but unless noted, is not
accompanied by a background article or photos. There are no
interviews.

Episode titles are accompanied by brief plot
summaries & casts unless noted. Each issue has TV news & views,
but without the wide scope of info that Vol.2 issues have.

Some
have photo montages, old & then-upcoming network schedules,
quizzes, Neilsen ratings, brief paragraphs looking back at an
old show, and advice to collectors and about VCRS (then a new
thing).

However,the
first few issues are amateur in appearance, with very small print, & graphics
and some photos are poor quality. Number 12 begins two-column pages & a more
professional appearance.

The printing style is improved again with number 41.

Number 65 begins true-magazine quality. The wealth of exclusive information in Vol.2 issues
more than makes up for the amateur appearance of the early issues.

Episode guides
are thoroughly researched, and are accompanied by lengthy background articles with
photos (some from actors' own collections!) and GREAT behind-the-scenes tales from
the people who worked on the shows.

In addition to what's listed, a humor column is
in numbers 1, and 3-7; a Hill Street Blues column is in numbers 4-10, & 16.
